Who needs Pinterest?

I don't know much about Pinterest. Given what a time suck Facebook is to me, I'm none too eager to discover more about Pinterest. I know friends who get lots of cool ideas for home decor and baking and such from it.

But I don't need Pinterest because I have really cool ideas of my own.

Like this for N's room.

I took an old shelf from the garage and used decoupage glue to put small pieces of tissue paper all over it. I purchased unpainted wood letters and 2 painted cutesy wood attachments (cost around $3 total). Then I painted the letters, and used gorilla glue to attach it all. I nailed in a wall-hanger to the back and voila! A cute initial picture.

N had drawn some pictures and taped them to the closet, which looked messy, so I bought a $5 piece of thin aluminum and cut it into strips. I then used gorilla glued magnets to the back of glass beads. I screwed the aluminum strips onto her closet and now she has a neat way to hang her drawings in her room.

I also nailed a strip into her bookshelf, which she can use for her reading log.

About Me

I am a mom of three diagnosed with OCD and GAD during my 2004-2005 postpartum period, although I very likely have been dealing with both since about age 10. They didn't disorder my life enough to require meds and therapy until after I became a mom.
